The Importance Of Emergency Intervention And Management Services

When focusing on the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Systems strategies for improvement with unnecessary emergency room visits, a major key area is accessibility to health care at the appropriate health care setting. For many years, there has been the perception that the emergency department is the only place for someone who is uninsured or underinsured can go to receive the needed and appropriate health care, and in some situations that may be the case. (Rhodes et al, 2013, p.394) Due to the decreases in reimbursements for the publicly funded, more and more physicians are opting out to treating these patients, thus leading to an increase in emergency department utilization. According to a study conducted by Rhodes, Bisgaier, Lawson, Soglen, Krug, and Haitsma, this is becoming a greater concern for the

The second phase of a traditional emergency management plan, and the third phase in the Los Angeles Unified School District is represented by the response phase. At this level, the emergency management team is already faced with the crisis situation, in the meaning that the risk has materialized, and they are forced to manage the ongoing crisis in an effort to minimize the losses of the emergency situation.

In this module, I have learned thus far that it takes multiple units from Emergency Management divisions and also public service divisions to fully handle a disaster. In this writing assignment, I will be discussing about Journalism and how it is can effect the outcome of a major event, such as a disaster. Journalism in today's society is crucial for the public and also for the teams that are activated to handle such terrible events or disasters. It has come a long way today with the invention of I-phone's, internet, social media and also news media. Without media coverage and new advanced technology about hurricanes, disasters, or event events that may harm our nation would be indescribable to innocent people in our nation. Take September 11th 2001 for an example. The media coverage

When I started the research for this assignment, I was initially dismayed by the paucity of literature that directly related to major incident planning. The more that I began to evaluate the needs associated with major incident response, both from a law enforcement perspective and from my practical experience, the more that I realized that it is not unlike the needs most closely related to emergency management planning and response. The two are not dissimilar in that both necessitate communication, preparation, critical thinking and analysis, as well as planning and collaboration. These are key concepts in order for an organization to be able to respond appropriately to incidents, both planned and not, within the expectations of the communities

Emergency management is a comprehensive program that manages hazards and disasters (Lindell, Prater, & Perry, 2007). Even though it is a field, it is a program. Public administration is a field that implements government policies for public services, and it is also academic discipline that prepares individuals for public services (Molina, 2015). Both emergency management and public administration depend on public fund or public budgeting, except private emergency management which depends on business fund. Thus, emergency management in general is a program of public administration. The main difference between them is that most public administrations all over the world are bureaucratic, do not improvise, but emergency management should not be

An Emergency Management program also, entitled EM program is designed to structure value to the community. By establishing the program emergency management requires a system to develop and document authorities to accomplish the comprehensive emergency management model. The assessment activities that would be involved in includes disaster preparedness planning, emergency evacuation planning and disaster response. This strategic approach of establishing an EM program in a jurisdiction or business would permit the community to be more efficient in their duties for dismantling the most heinous events.

(10) Be prepared and make sure that everyone responsible for service continuity is ready to respond. (NN/LM Emergency Preparedness & Response Toolkit, 2012)

The United States emergency management communities are psychologically unprepared to deal with the loss of lives and property from catastrophic disasters; a price of overwhelming death and destruction affecting the international first response community. Many first responders lament to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (bostock, Matusko,Emp, Paterson & Bryant, 2013) and whereas, the global community has tried for decades to prevent such mental injury, the U.S., since the terrorist attacks of 9/11 and hurricane Katrina, is only beginning to understand the cost of sending emotionally unprepared personnel to national disaster front lines.

Emergency response planning is the most critical piece to ensuring an airport runs smoothly and effectively. Airport operations is in charge of ensuring the safety of the airport and the passengers and to ensure that the airport or airlines isn’t violating any certifications. To ensure that the airport is able to follow all operations and safety practices, the FAA does an annual inspections to check for many thing including: firefighting and rescue response, wildlife hazards, and emergency management planning (Airport Safety and Operations, 2016). Airport operations is required to make sure everyone at the airport understands how critical it is for them to stop something if they believe it is suspicious activity or trying to see if there

Who is an emergency manger and what do they do? Generally, the emergency manager is responsible for the emergency management program within their county, city or designated area of control. From a layman point of view, programs may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and will contain Local Emergency Operations Plan and Hazardous Materials Plan.

When trying to establish an emergency response action plan, there are steps a company must take in or to be successful. Typically a risk assessment should be completed before an accident even occurs. This helps ensure that the company has all the right equipment and personnel to handle the task of recovery and clean-up. Companies must first take into account what type of hazardous waste is being produced and in what quantity it is produced, in comparison to how much is kept on site and how much is hazardous waste is being transported at any given time. Furthermore, they need to find out what are the hazardous characteristics of the waste. This will give the company an understanding of what personal protective gear and equipment the emergency

The roles of information systems in emergency response system and how the individual would use it.

I would like to say thank you for giving me a better understanding of emergency management. I never thought that I would embrace this career field, but since my first class I have been intrigued to learn more. This course gave me a better understanding of the role of crisis action planning in emergency management and disaster response including crisis leadership, management theories and methodologies to use. After reading over the syllabus I was very nervous in drafting a crisis action plan, but our forum posts, your guidance, and interaction with each throughout this course reminded me that as long as I have the available tools and resources I would be able to develop a crisis action plan for an organizational survival

Fire, Earthquake and other emergency procedures, emergency service telephone numbers, school extensions, evacuation plans, poison control numbers are posted on the information board. They are posted closer to the telephone. The evacuation plan was posted on all the doors of the classroom. An emergency red backpack and a green bag were hanged in a hook and a teacher told me that it has all emergency information’s, first aid, thermometer, flashlight, and some books for emergency. She said that they take the green bag along with the children and it has emergency information’s and first aid. They have a practice fire drill, earthquake drill at least two times in a year.
